1935-09: (The LFAS as Women’s Liberators Paired with Haitian Warriors and Queens — During the 1935 Saint-Marc Celebration the LFAS Women Characterizing Themselves as Women’s Liberators Paired with the Legacies of Haitian Warriors Marie-Jeanne and Queens Claire Heureuse and Adélina Soulouque Empress Consort and Wife of Faustin I, the Reception Garnishing the LFAS’s Growth in National Zeal and Concluding in a Spontaneous Collective Singing of “La Dessalinienne” at the End of the Night): During the 1935 celebration in Saint-Marc, the LFAS women characterized themselves as women’s liberators. Paired with the legacies of Haitian warriors Marie-Jeanne and queens Claire Heureuse and Adélina Soulouque (empress consort and wife of Faustin I), the reception garnished the LFAS’s growth in national zeal and concluded in a spontaneous collective singing of “La Dessalinienne” at the end of the night — the national anthem rising unbidden from the gathering as the revolutionary genealogy the women had claimed in their menu and speeches became a lived, collective expression of sovereignty.
